Top Gun

What movie screamed propaganda for the airforce in the 80s? The amazing movie classic Top Gun! From the awesome scenes of advanced, for the 80s, aircrafts and the heart throb Tom Crusie (in his younger days before he started jumping on Opera's couches), no one can go wrong with Top Gun. This movie won 9 Oscars and 5 nominations. The director Tony Scott and writer Ehud Yonay did a remarkable job in conveying the life of a top fighter pilot.

The movie begins with epic scenes of fighter pilots followed by Maverick (Tom Cruise) and his co-pilot/ bestfriend Goose (Anthony Edwards) winning a dog fight. Maverick makes a "fly by" which causes him and Goose to be in a ton of trouble. Even though they tend to be trouble makers, they are extremely talented fighter pilots that get to go to Top Gun, who also can definitely sing...especially the song "You've Lost that Lovin Feeling." Miss. Charlie (Kelly McGills), a teacher at Top Gun and Maverick's soon to be lover, gets to expierence this first hand. The macho pair meet their rivals Iceman (Val Kilmer) and Wolfman (Barry Tub) who push their bottons. Unfortunately, Maverick and Iceman learn to respect eachother after a tragic event takes place. Maverick ends up flying solo with his father and bestfriend watching over him and Charlie by his side.

I would recommend Top Gun to anyone. This is a classic that would deprive a child if they do not see it in their life time. From the amazing filming, interesting characters, awesome dog fighting, and famous stars this movie gets a solid A++ in my book. I have personally seen this movie 20 times in my lifetime. I love it! :)
